“Glad you realize that.”
“Ugh, you’re impossible,” she grumbled. I saw her take a few deep breaths before she went still with her hands open on her knees.
“What are you doing?”
“Minding my own business,” she snapped. “I thought you didn’t want to talk?”
“I don’t.”
“You are incredibly contradictory, you know that?”
“So I’ve been told.”
“Someone has actually called you that before? I thought they only referred to you as a sex god.”
I tried to hide a smile at that one.
“I’ve been called a lot of names. Sex god is just my favorite.”
“I’m sure asshole is a popular one.”
“Yes, it is.” I said dryly.
“So what constitutes a sex god?”
“See, you say things like this and I just have a hard time believing What’s-His-Face knows what he’s doing.”
“Most guys don’t know what they’re doing. The bar is in hell.”
“So you admit Mr. Don’t-Wear-That-Dress doesn’t know what he’s doing.”
“You sure like to twist words.”
“I notice you’re not denying it this time.”
“Why are you so convinced I haven’t experienced great sex?”
“You wouldn’t be with Pretty Boy if you had,” I said with a shrug.
“You still haven’t told me what being a sex god entails.”
“I prefer to show versus tell.”
“Well seeing as that’s never going to happen, why don’t you just tell me?” She turned around then and fixed me with an annoyed stare. I held her gaze for a long moment. I should have just stopped but something made me smirk and I let my gaze roll over her lazily.
“Let’s just say if I’d been on the other end of that phone call, I would have been telling you all the things I planned on doing to you when you got home.”
She swallowed visibly and then turned around quickly in a huff but not before I saw a blush tint her cheeks.
I decided I liked making her do that.

I tried to return to my meditation but his last comment made me feel like I couldn’t sit still. I tried to stop my mind as it wandered down the path of just what he might have said to me in that situation and my hands clenched on my thighs in an almost physical effort to stop.
What was I doing? It’s because I never felt this smoldering fire with Tyler let alone anyone else before him. If I wasn’t convinced I didn’t want the mediocre life with Tyler before the crash, Graham was slowly showing me that I definitely was settling for something lukewarm at best.
